Item 20 - Letter from Charlotte Green to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Sidgwick for the notes about her husband's 'earlier days', which he sent to her. Remarks that her husband spoke little of those times, but that she has been reading his Rugby letters to his father and sisters. Claims that Sidgwick's reminiscences 'will be very valuable in preparing a biographical sketch.' On her return to Oxford the following week she intends to go over the manuscripts with R. L. Nettleship and W. A. Bradley, 'with a view to the publication of lectures, not actually prepared for publication.' Announces that The Prolegomena to Ethics will be going through the press 'at once', and should be out in the Autumn. Expresses her sympathy for Sidgwick and his wife in their 'great sorrow' [the death of Nora Sidgwick's brother F. M. Balfour in a climbing accident].
